Ion Auth - Lightweight Auth System based on Redux Auth 2

Hi Ben

Just a quick question.

I want to retrieve a list of groups so I can add a drop down list to the Create User view.
I know I can get them with something like $this->ion_auth_model->get_groups(), but I seem to recall that you prefer if data was accessed via the library and not directly from the model.

Any suggestions? I don’t want to start hacking the core library.

Cheers
Russ

Hi dhaulagiri

Look at function create_user() in the sample controller (auth.php), there is an example there.

Code:

if ($this->form_validation->run() == true && $this->ion_auth->register($username, $password, $email, $additional_data, $group))

Russ,

You can use $this->ion_auth->get_groups(). The model methods are routed through the library.

Thanks Ben

Looked in ion_auth.php and couldn't see it... should have checked the user guide. Doh!

I'm writing a method to allow a user to update his/her email address, but I'd like to require them to enter their current password and have the application validate against that before updating the email address. Anyone have a best practice for how to do this?

If you mean you want a screen where users can register themselves, then yes.
I don't think there is anything in Ben's demo code specifically for that.
You can probably create something fairly easily based on the Create_user view.

If you go into /index.php/auth and log on with 'admin@admin.com' and 'password' it takes you into a user maintenance screen where you can register new users.
Is this what you mean?
